Antique American Multicolor 1920s Quilt

Antique American Multicolor 1920s Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 57 x 82 inches (4'9" x 6'10"). It is pieced from fabric and quilted through to a backing, not knotted or woven like a rug. Quilts like this were made as bed coverings; today they are hung as textile art or used as a throw or bed topper. Because it is a textile, we do not recommend it for use on the floor. This exceptional American textile, dating from the early Jazz Age, presents a striking example of folk art translated into a domestic furnishing. The design employs a compelling stepped diagonal motif, creating a dynamic, rhythmic movement across the entire surface. This highly effective geometric arrangement functions as an allover pattern, ensuring visual interest from every angle without relying on a central medallion or defined border system.
